The Starbucks Zombie Frappucino Is Alive

Undead and delicious.

If you're one of those people who feels like a total zombie before their morning coffee, you're in luck: In honor of Halloween, Starbucks is introducing a Zombie Frappuccino this week that sounds so much more delicious than braaaaaains. (Yes, the rumors were true.)

"The Zombie Frappuccino® blended beverage has a ghastly green body made with Frappuccino® Crème infused with flavors of tart apple and caramel and topped with pink whipped cream 'brains' and red mocha drizzle," per a Starbucks press release, and is available at select United States and Canada stores from Thursday until October 31.

This is the third Halloween-themed seasonal drink from the mega coffee brand. In 2014, they introduced the Franken Frappuccino, followed by the Frappula Frappuccino in 2015 and 2016. The idea behind the Zombie Frap, said Jennica Robinson from Starbucks's beverage development, was to continue with the theme of a monster party. Frankenstein and Dracula were already there, so this year, they invited a zombie. The drinks' actual taste, too, is part of the theme. "We thought about what you'd serve at a Halloween party, and we settled on dipped caramel apples," Robinson said. "It has a tart green apple favor balanced with a smooth, sweet caramel."

To get their stores even further into the spooky spirit, Starbucks is also playing its own Halloween mix on Spotify, featuring creepy classics like Katy Perry's "E.T." and Lady Gaga's "Monster," but, disappointingly, not The Cranberries's "Zombie," a bop if there ever was one. Stores are also selling edible treats like the Mummy Cake Pop (vanilla cake Birthday Cake Pop with a little added decoration) and a Day of the Dead Cookie with a skull design for Día de los Muertos. Can you say trick or treat?
